Title
Frederique Constant Geneve Moonphase – Vintage Quartz Watch with Day-Date Display

Introduction
This timepiece from Frederique Constant Geneve presents a classic round case fitted with a white dial featuring Roman numeral hour markers. The dial is arranged with day and date subdials at the nine o'clock and three o'clock positions respectively, complemented by a moonphase display at six o'clock, lending the face a traditional and balanced layout. The watch is paired with a black leather strap that has been newly replaced. The overall design reflects the calendar-complication styling associated with Swiss watchmaking of its period.

Historical & Collector Value
Frederique Constant, founded in Geneva, has built its output around accessible interpretations of traditional Swiss watchmaking, frequently incorporating complications such as day-date and moonphase displays into quartz and mechanical models alike. The moonphase function, historically associated with more elaborate horological work, was adapted here into a quartz-powered format, illustrating the brand's approach of combining classical dial aesthetics with practical, low-maintenance movements. This model belongs to the broader category of dress watches that emerged from the late twentieth century, characteristic of the period's renewed interest in traditional calendar complications within accessible timepieces.
